It's been nerfed but if you play on an earlier patch, dagger with high crit and "flame of the red mane" weapon art is fairly busted. Most enemies stagger in 1 or 2 casts and the weapon art is spammable. Then you land a free crit for big damage.
Casters are also fairly strong. They get access to some great aoe later in the game which makes dungeon crawls a lot easier. They have access to physical damage too through gravity sorceries too which helps a lot vs the magic resistant enemies. The caster katana also has a great weapon art.
As far as summons, the mimic is by far the strongest. It copies you and has all the same equiped consumable items too so it can throw sleep and freeze pots which can be really busted in some fights. It also has estus which is huge for a summon.
Mimic is good at first, but Tiche is way better by the end
I was a big fan of Redmane Knight Ogha, gravity greatbow fire support and a tanky bastard in melee if you need him to be. Truly, an ash for all seasons.
